b. According to its Energy Source
c. According to its Oxygen Source
d. According to its Final Electron Acceptor

2. Which category of enzymes belongs to the class 5 in the international
classification?

b. Lyases d. Transferases









Answers and Explanation:
Environmental Engineering:
1. a. Rubbish

Explanation by definition:

Rubbish is a combustible and non-combustible solid waste which is non-
putrescible.
Yard Wastes are solid waste which are composed of biodegradable material
resulting from maintenance or removal of vegetation; also known as
garden/green waste.
Garbage are putrescible waste resulting from the preparation of food; also known
as kitchen waste.
Municipal Solid Wastes are discarded solid or semi-solid materials which do not
have any use.

2. d. Nuee-ardente

Explanation by definition:

Pahoehoe is a type of basaltic lava flow which has a smooth surface with
wrinkles in it that creates a silky appearance. Moves in slow pace.
Aa is a type of basaltic lava flow which has a rough appearance and is sharp and
blocky. Moves in slow pace.
Lapilli is a type of Tephra (solid material ejected by volcano into the atmosphere)
which has a diameter between 2mm to 64mm. Ash is another type of Tephra
which has a diameter less than 2mm.
Nuee-ardente is an extremely fast moving body of lava and gas. The lava
actually floats on top of the gas which causes minimal friction, thus moving a
speed of 60 miles per hour down a mountain.
Biochemical Engineering:
1. c. According to its Oxygen Source
The correct statement should be According to its Carbon Source; Autotrophs and
Heterotrophs.

2. c. Isomerases
The Enzyme Commission, in its report in 1961, devised a system for
classification of enzymes that also serves as a basis for assigning code numbers
to them. This is to classify the main division the enzyme belongs.

Class 1 Oxireductases Class 4 Lyases
Class 2 Transferases Class 5 Isomerases
Class 3 Hydrolases Class 6 Ligases
